Have we lost the Oracle driver?

[Ben Rubinstein]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for responding. Indeed 'the revLicenseInfo` returned "...commercial". 
After re-licensing, it now says "...professional" - however, I still can't 
open a connection to an Oracle database.

Re-licensing *did* make a difference: whereas previously it broke into the 
debugger, and (sometimes) displayed the error
 > execution error at line n/a (External handler execution error: 
revdberr,driver not licensed for this edition)

now revOpenDatabase simply returns
 > revdberr,invalid database type

So I guess it's not a licensing issue any more, which is good; but I still 
can't get at the database! Can you suggest where my next issue might be?

Many thanks,

Ben
